Release Notes; upgrade information mainly.
Features/major bugfixes are listed in NEWS
portage-2.1
==================================
* new cache framework, breaking all old cache modules.
If you're having problems with portage_db_cdb, this is likely the cause.
* USE flag output ordering has changed. The old ordering is now an option
by the name of --alphabetical. Adding the option to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS
in make.conf will restore the old behaviour permanently.
* The deprecated --upgradeonly has been removed, use /etc/portage/package.*
instead.
* 'emerge sync' has been deprecated, use 'emerge --sync' instead (same
for other actions)
* Tools that call emerge should override the EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS environment
variable or use the emerge --ignore-default-opts option.
